Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized.

Known variations of the Heartsong family name include Hartsong, Hartstrong, Hartstronge, Hartsonge, Heartsong, Heartsronge, Hardsong, Hartson, Heartson, Hartstonge, Hartstong, Hedstrong, Headstrong, Eartstron, Artstrong, Eartsrong and many more. First found in Norfolk where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed.
